Okay so I've been having some discomfort in my armpit and tenderness in my breast which I didn't think too much of but then I noticed over the weekend that my boob was swollen and very veiny. I went to the docs today expecting to be told to stop worrying but instead she said she can feel a lump in my armpit and a thickened area on my boob. She also seemed really concerned that I found the examination to be incredibly uncomfortable. I'm absolutely worried sick now, trying to tell myself that most people who get referred are given the all clear but it's so hard. I have two very young children, I'm just going out of my mind
